Supercharger?

Just wondering. Is supercharging the eclipse (or Talon in my case) possible? I would much rather pay the money for a super than a turbo? Any links or anything?

they dont make a supercharger for the eclipse plus you can make much more power with a turbo! turbos use exhaust to push the propeller... superchargers use the rotating mass so there for it robs power from the motor, turbo chargers dont take any power away from the motor! the only difference is lag but there are many setups where you can make more power from a turbo than a supercharger!

yeah but isnt that a lil pricy for 6 psi dude? i mean the cool factor would be through the roof....

oh shit no... you dont have to run 6psi, its all controlled by the pullies. i'll build the motor and hopefully get around 450hp out of it by maxing out the supercharger! :lol: man i cant even imagine 450hp instantly as soon as i touch the throttle...

Auctly you could buy one of thouse super chragers used from like a grand prix, for like $500. Then all you have to do is custom fit it to your manifold. Wouldent be all that hard to do, and cheaper then a turbo kit. Ive seen it done before, to a v6 avenger yes..but the point remains the same.

u won't hit full boost til redline, there's a disadvan, but i've seen a couple 2.4's supercharged (spyder GS's) and my friend said his grandpa supercharged an Eclipse GS-T and was killin' everything around the lake.........BUT HE's FULLA SH!T if u got money though, make it happen
